Furthermore, we will discuss the character traits that have made these characters relatable and relevant throughout the centuries! This class will be dedicated to reading one heroic myths that carries a moral lesson. The story for this course is "Hercules and the 12 Labors," and it is in the form of a graphic novel. As we read we will discuss what role each character plays in the epic drama. Students should be prepared to read, watch movie clips, and discuss their takeaways from each myth.
